Is this done? I have $167 in my cart and the code doesn’t apply…it doesn’t say ended or no longer valid…just does nothing

I argued back and forth with them ALL DAY yesterday about this. Apparently they sent out an email blast back in June about the sale ending July 1st. I feel they should honor the sale based on their PUBLICLY AVAILABLE advertising on the website. Who cares they sent out an automated message to their limited subscription list. I stopped buying their monthly boxes forever ago due to customer service issues and this just proves me right. PS is BS.

The home page for the boutique is still advertising this deal and I have a whole cart full of stuff valued at almost $200, but when I enter the code, it says invalid. I am going to be so annoyed if they try to claim the code isn’t good any more, even though they are clearly still touting the sale right on the front page.

I got my order today (shockingly fast, considering the source) and instead of the cheese platter, I received the placemats! I’m curious to see how returns/replacements go…..

Andrea

I shouldn’t have been so snarky! I heard from the beloved Andy D a few hours after my initial email, and the cheese plate should be shipped out shortly!

I don’t if anyone will look at this thread anymore, but they’ve added new stuff! Well, at least one new thing – a Foreo Luna set with cleansers. And there might be some things that have been restocked.

The Mela Artisans Tray was my unicorn, and was so happy to get one on this sale…however, I got the dreaded email that they oversold it/it is now out of stock and that I’ll be getting a refund. So sad! ☹️

I may have an extra tray, I’ll go through my stash and check.

Are you on the swap site? I was looking at the tray as well… so if Wendy doesn’t take you up on it, let me know!!

Anna

Looks like Foreo Luna is back in stock, for those who are interested.

I already got my box today, super fast shipping and delivery!

So just an annoying issue.. I am in PA but nowhere near Philadelphia.. yet they added the extra sales tax. Get it right Popsugar. Yeah … I am in the tax business..

Jacki

I’m furious! Got an OOS on the Kendra Scott cuff. It was still in stock for a couple of hours after I ordered. Probably will get one more email, then another and another until every single item I really wanted is eliminated. No popsugar, I don’t want to re subscribe because you don’t even try to improve

Kimk

I got the same email! So disappointed!

Reply ButtonReply

Jacki

I wouldn’t have ordered if it wasn’t for the bracelet. Crooked practice to oversell and then refuse to cancel the rest of the order. They’ve been doing this too long to claim it was unintentional.

Monica

I just got the same email for the cuff. Ugh!!

Reply ButtonReply

That is lame!! I got an OOS on the Baggu weekender, which was the main reason why I had to rush my order and missed out on some things…
What were the other items you ordered? I did get a shipping confirmation on my 2nd order (after the big rush ended) and that had the KS earrings, so I’m happy I will at least be getting those… so if you ordered KS earrings you have a chance 🙂

And they didn’t cancel my Corkcicle yet, so fingers crossed! I used my other bottle for coffee and it’s unacceptable for water now (the rubber gasket is gross), so I need the spare… and under $14 was a great deal!

Reply ButtonReply

Jacki

I ordered a pair of earrings too. I hope I get them, but I wanted the bracelet more ☹️ The farmacy honey drop is the only other item I really care about. They haven’t processed my order yet…. leaving open the chance of more OOS

Deanne

They’re kidding on most of these prices right?? These days you can go over to Ross or Marshalls and find exact copies of 75% of this stuff. Grr. Shopping my stash on this one!

The prices were all inflated for sure.

I have been wanting those Kim Siebert round placemats forever, and no one has them up for swap. No place online has them for less than the price listed there so I was happy. I have a lot of babies born into the family, so I got two of the pig banks.

I literally was on the site seconds after the email dropped and the Foreo was already sold out – finding that hard to believe and it prompted me to leave the site empty handed. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

I was in Sephora inside JCP this morning and they have the Foreo Play on sale for $20. No mini cleansers. I would recommend the Fofo instead though, because it runs on AAA batteries, so you’ll get far more use from it. You can try and swap for one.

Redhed36

I jumped online and looked and that one only received three stars through Sephora. To me that is awful. I won’t touch something unless it’s at least 4 stars even then am hesitant unless it’s more like 4 1/2. I agree I’d stick to the Fofo.

@LIz – I doubt you will see this but I am wondering if you ended up truly LOVING the Pehr throw that was in the winter limited edition box 2016 for her – that was once a unicorn for me ……… do you recommend it? 🙂 I remember Buckles loving it as well………. 🙂

Reply ButtonReply

Zo

I’m not Liz but I loved mine so much when I first received the box that I bought a second box just for this throw. I keep one on my bed for super cold nights in the winter and one on the couch. It’s not super plush so if you like the super soft throws this won’t be like that but it is a soft flannel and very warm. I received throws in other boxes after this one but I used both of my pehr throws again this past winter. Still my fave.

judy

I appreciate that Zo!!!! Thank YOU……very helpful – off to buy one NOW…… have plenty of the super soft ones and they are nice but there’s just something “special” about this one….. 🙂

Katie

Ok, after deciding to sleep on it I got 2 packs of birthday candles because they are amazing and I got 5 flour sack tea towels. My own personal unicorn. I was eyeballing the makeup/skincare/farmacy hard but ekkk I don’t want to get stuck with old stuff. $55 out the door

I didn’t think a lot of these items were worth it at 75% off, much less 50% off. Easy pass for me, but I’m happy folks are finding things they love.

Ok.. who can resist those trucker hats? Couldn’t find a taker for mine and cant imagine any guy I know wearing the lightning version.. oh well someone loves these!! Let me know.. mine is free just pay to ship!! Lol

Me too! I’ll even find something you want to swap!

Chris

Sorry I only have the blue one.. Aloha or whatever!! Really just sarcasm for old stuff at 50% off.. had to buy a few things but I can’t imagine some of this stuff selling at these prices. Its been around too long and marked lower on Gilt.

sam

i’ll take the lightning trucker hat if you are serious!

When they run these sales it always seems like some of the items are already sold out! I ended up with the Loeffler wallet (had it years ago and foolishly swaped it), a Pehr throw (I forgot that I already have one), and a pair of silver earrings.

But everyone is right, all the prior sales were 75% off. What gives?

Wendy

I would have ordered a good bit of not for the $100 price cap to use coupon. If they removed that they could get rid of lots more. I mean come on, how much of this stuff did they get?

Reply ButtonReply

Ankareeda

It’s not a cap. It’s a minimum order of $100 before the discount. I think it makes sense to have a minimum since shipping is free.

Reply ButtonReply

Wendy

That’s what I meant, minimum not cap. Used wrong wording, sorry.

Alexa

Got the Loeffler Randall python clutch from ages ago, more of my favorite Lollia shower gel and the Lalicious scrub to try. And the Patchology eye patches which should be great for some long flights I have coming up. Excited!

One of the products which has sold out is not quite the beneficial item it was marketed as being.
It’s the “satin” pillowcase. Satin can be either polyester or silk. Since this one had a RV of $38, and it’s not listed as 100% silk, it’s likely polyester.

SILK pillowcases are the ones which might have some benefits as far as not creasing the facial skin when sleeping and especially the breathability. Silk and other natural fibers allow the flow of air very well. Polyester does not, being an artificially produced fiber with different properties.

Amazon has some great mummiweight silk pillowcases at about the price of the PSMH one. I always choose the natural undyed ones, and make sure they have a hidden side zipper. The envelope style doesn’t stay on the pillow well. I wash mine on ultra delicate and air dry then fluff just a few minutes on low to remove any small wrinkles.

Most helpful comment ever! Thank you so much!! I’ve always wondered about silk pillowcases and if they would make me sweat. 😅

Reply ButtonReply

Mandy

Thank you so very much. Silk and cotton have never made me perspire during the night, and I used silk pillowcases during a time when I had hormonal issues.
I have had satin sheets before I realized my mistake, and they are the hottest feeling sheets on the planet to me. I loved the look of them, but hated the heat retention.

The silk pillowcases being sold are not silk satin but silk charmeuse, which is a much softer weave with less silk used. The Momme weight, which is basically the thread count, for silk pillowcases and bedding should be around 20 mm.
More or less within a few numbers is just fine too, but I consider 18-20 mm to be easy to find, and affordable.

Mandy

I took 3 days and cleaned out all my beauty products- hair, skin, face, nails, and cosmetics.
Some of the products being sold currently are WAY too old to use, and some are just fine, of course. There’s lots of very old nail polish. To their credit, I didn’t see any old stock sunscreen products, which lose their protective properties if they are too old.
I store my items in cool, dry cabinets and most still had the safety seals on, but when products get to the age of being past the normal use date it is not a random thing.

There was ONE item which had a discount before the code and it was a silver piggy bank for a child, I’d think.

One last thing: Wasn’t the Free Spirit journal/ notebook in rose gold a box FREEBIE sponsored by Jeep? How can they sell something that they gave away in a box? I’m thinking that’s not so great, but I do love mine. 🙂

The 2018 wall calendar that will probably only have < 6 months left on it by the time it arrives was also on "sale" for $2.00 ($1.00 after the discount).

The piggy bank was from the special edition baby box from way back when… it was in these sales previously but even at 75% off the RV was too high for me. I'm still considering it at the sale price for a potential baby gift. At $14.50 it's a great price, but I wish I knew if it comes in a box or just loose?? Link to original boxes:

It comes in a box. I gave it as a baby gift and it was really well received.

Jacki

These sales used to be 75% off, but this sale includes some nice items that are a great buy at 50% off. I’m still hoping for further discounts once the inventory thins out 🤞And please don’t let me get an OOS email on my Kendra Scott!!

I hear ya! The Baggu weekender sold out right after I bought it, so I hope I actually get it! I also ordered a pair of the KS earrings… the silver ones that I felt were an urban swapping legend, since I never actually saw them available, only listed as an elaborate taunt, lol 😂

I bought the Baggu weekend bag about 5 minutes after I got the email about the sale and just now received a note from PopSugar that they oversold it. The sale, at that point, couldn’t have been active for more than 30 minutes. I think they used it as bait.

MaryBeth

Oh well, all the things I would want are sold out. Guess that’s for the best since we’re about to start the Dave Ramsey finance plan.

Anyone notice these mostly are all the same items they have had each sale for the past 2 years? I’m too worried the beauty products would be expired by now.

Reply ButtonReply

Amy

I emailed customer service, and received a reply in less than an hour.

Hi Amy,

Thanks for reaching out. All the inventory in our summer sale is original inventory, however all the items are still within their expiration date so you don’t have to worry about anything being expired if you purchase. We hope you enjoy receiving 50% off! Let us know if you have any other questions.

Cheers,

I’ve noticed that the Briogeo product has shown up in many/maybe all of these warehouse sales and they’d always sell out, but then have it for sale again the next time. So I was guessing that they were buying new items for these sales. If it is all original inventory, it just seems weird that they are only releasing a certain amount of Briogeo for each sale so they can save part of their inventory of it for the next time when it will be even older.

Sav

Yep, which is why I didn’t bother going past the first page. And didn’t these sales use to be 75% off?

Totally!
Ans smart move, I actually thought….hey it can’t be allllll the same old stuff then up came the swan drink holder and those pineapple pins we all have 20 of!!! hahahahaha!!

Redhed36

I am weak and got;

– Herbivore Botanicals Jasmine Glowing Hydration Body Oil
– Hampton Sun Bronze Shimmer Cooling Spray
– Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray (love this stuff)
– Lalicious Brown Sugar Vanilla Shower Oil and Bubble Bath
– Lalicious Extraordinary Whipped Sugar Kiss Sugar Scrub (I literally used the last of the one I have this morning). It’s a sign.

I spent $86, which is high when you think about how much this stuff actually costs to make, but good deal considering RSV.

Yay – I’ve been waiting for this sale! But what happened to the 75% off of days yore? I’m a little less inclined to hit ‘buy’ at only 50% off. Although, I guess that’s a good thing since I’ll be less inclined to buy random items I don’t really need.
